Abstract

This note introduces the newly developed working modes, i.e. one-dimensional meter-wave radio heliograph (MRH) and interplanetary scintillation (IPS) telescope, of meter-wave aperture synthesis radio telescope (MSRT) at Beijing Astronomical Observatory (BAO). The note describes briefly the scientific objectives, configurations of the hardware and software, and functions of the system. It presents the examples of observations on solar meter-wave bursts and IPS with the two new working modes. The results indicated that new modes not only can provide the information on the evolution of solar activities with space and time, but also can trace and monitor the propagation and spatial distribution of interplanetary plasma shock resulting from solar activities and the instability of the ionosphere, etc. Both modes are new facilities that could fill the gaps in scientific frontiers.
